- FrsrfING-JIG.

The 'Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making p art of the same.

' Be it known that I, SEWALL ALBEE, of Wiscasset, in the countyof Lincoln, and 'State of Maine, have invented a new and improved Fishing-Jig; and I do hereby declare that the-following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, 'and letters of reference marked thereon, the same to be called Albees Patent'Fishn ing-Jig. r j

The hook A passes, through the tube or cap B, into the aperture F in the centre-piece C. Then the cap B, being screwed on to the centre-piece O, closely com presses the open parts of the lower end of the centrepieoe C, and the hook is thus held'rmly and securely in its place. j v j The line E is first passed through the tubular lead D, then through the small aperture f, and bent on, after which the lead D 'is screwed closely. on to the upper part of the centrefpiece C, and the jig is complete.` 4

Should the hook be brokenor spoiled, it is easily replaced by a new one. l

This is a great and obvious improvement upon the style of shing-jig nonr commonly used by shermen,

.which is formed of a body of lead, run on to the hook solid, and, when the hook is once spoiled, that is the destruction of the. jig.

By this invention, hoolrs of different sizes can also be used, and substituted, one for another, in the same jig, and leads of different weights o'r sizes can be subgtituted or the jig can be used without any lead, for

the sake of lightness in the water, when desirable, by unscrewing and slipping the lead up the line'. The cap and lead are made each with a female s'crew.

Figure 1 is a sectional view of the jig, with all the parts together. p v I Figure 2 represents the parts partially separated. Figure 3 represents the jig ready for use, the full or common size.

The method of forming the body of the jig of three adjustable parts, substantially as described, and espe-l cially the method of adj usting, securing, and holding the hook, by means of an adjustable tube or cap, in

combination with a centre-piece, containing a screw, tting the cap, and an aperture, for the admission ofv the stem of the hook, all substantially as above described.
